10+ Best Weed Tea Recipes

Weed Tea or Marijuana tea is a great and tasteful way to enjoy the relaxing effects of the cannabis plant. In this article, we will show you the best recipes for making THC Weed Tea and the non-psychoactive brother, THCA weed tea.

Weed tea vs Smoking Weed

In comparison with smoking, drinking weed tea has multiple advantages. While the high temperature of smoking a joint will cause most healing cannabinoids to burn this is not the case with weed tea. Because heating temperatures stay around 100C the cannabinoids will be preserved and therefore weed tea can:

Be anti-inflammatory

Help with muscle spasms

Act as an anti-depressant

Slow down Alzheimer’s disease

Reduce Anti-anxiolytic

Reduce insomnia

Reduce high blood pressure

In addition, drinking weed tea doesn’t impact the respiratory system like smoking does. Long-term smoking of weed is associated with an increased risk of respiratory problems like coughing, sputum production, airway inflammation, and wheeze. However, a clear linkage between smoking marijuana and lung cancer has not been found.

THC Weed Tea vs THCA Weed Tea

The first distinction we make with our recipes has to do with the chemicals in your weed. Before the cannabis plant is dried and heated by smoking the plant does not contain THC but the non-psychoactive THCA. The process of turning THCA into THC is called decarboxylation, which is actually a fancy word for heating up the buds.

Therefore if you want to enjoy the psychoactive effects of THC it is necessary to decarboxylase your buds. In addition, the fat from butter or other dairy causes the created THC to be extracted from the plant material into your tea. On the other hand, if you still want to benefit from the health benefits of THCA but don’t like the psychoactive effects of THC we also have a great recipe for you.
